Anybody who isn't brain-damaged would give AotC Obi-Wan the edge over Qui-Gon.
Anakin's also above TPM Obi-Wan. In at least some sources, Anakin is depicted as contending with Dooku, whereas Obi-Wan's never shown to be able to contend with Maul (who's an inferior swordsman to the Count) without the benefit of rage.
Well the question isn't which combatants are more skilled and more powerful, but which is a better team, in which case I'd go for TPM team.
Qui-Gon and Obi-Wan clearly had great synergy, whereas AOTC Obi-Wan was usually shouting at Anakin and chasing him around. And though even as a team TPM duo would get stomped by Count Dooku, but at least they'd fight him together.

2 combatants fight two combatants, one occupies one, the effectiveness of teamwork is limited here.
^ Yeah I was thinking the same but didn't want to be called brain damaged 🙁

I'm probably misrepresenting the OP's intentions, but he doesn't put the 2 teams against each other in a 2 v 2 match up. He just says "which is the better team". And as of AOTC, Obi-Wan and Anakin had many flaws as a team, mainly due to Anakin's arrogance and frustrations at not being a Knight.

I side with TPM. There is nothing to suggest that AotC Kenobi is superior to Qui-Gon; let's see, Qui-Gon lasted how long against Maul and Kenobi lasted how long against the troll Dooku?
Anakin is superior to TPM Kenobi in terms of overall fighting ability, but he clearly extremely reckless, arrogant, and lacks control. Not saying that Kenobi could beat Anakin every day of the week, but it's definitely not one sided.
And then there is sync energy and we all know who gets that.
Why are we assuming that AOTC Anakin is always arrogant and reckless in combat? What from one showing against Dooku, after the fact he just witnessed his fellow Jedi get killed and Dooku being the cause of it?
Yeah in that instance sure Anakin was, but now were gonna apply it to every combat scenario where this didn't happen?
Not to mention even applying this, Anakin was still able to fight Dooku....soo...why is this a negative?

LOL, it's hardly unique to that situation tbh. If you read Jedi Quest, you'll see that he does shit like that all the ****ing time lol
Mmmk...but basing off the movies? It's hardly fair to say Anakin is always like this in combat, when the instance was surrounded by circumstance.
